Resolution
On the Netvault server:
1) Run a NetVault database backup without the check database option selected.
2) Stop the Netvault services
3) Open a command prompt and navigate ~netvault/util
4) Run the command:
nvmeddbcheck check
you can also redirect the output to a file:
nvmeddbcheck check > nvmedcheck.log
The nvmeddbcheck command can take one of the following arguments:
- check: Just performs database checks
- compact: Performs the database checks, fixes faults identified during the check phase, and compacts the database
- Force: Checks, fixes and compacts the database regardless of the last
successful backup.
- list: Prints a line of output for every backup record, new stream, old stream, session, segment, media, and backup index in the database. This is particularly useful in order to determine what records should be deleted. -
